This was the 500th episode of Law & Order: SVU. Honored that they wanted to highlight some of the work we were doing.
January 28thY'all...I guess I should have figured but...
I just saw a Dateline commercial for Carla's case. I'll have to check but I think it is for next Friday?
Wonderful episode!Well I thought the Dateline episode did a good job from start to finish..everything that happened and most of all how everyone was affected/the toll it took on peoples' lives for decades. The determination of her loved ones, LE and the connection with new technology was shown very well and was very interesting. Only now are people able to start healing.
RIP Carla and bless your family and friends who never gave up.
It really was a wonderful episode. So glad that Rodney McCoy finally feels liberated. It seems pretty likely that there are other victims of this monster McCurley since he started to describe where he left Carla's body during his taped confession and he mentioned a building. Clearly he was confusing her murder with most likely some other murder he committed since he left Carla's body in a ravine which wasn't near any buildings.

Carla Walker Act: Cold case solved decades later with advanced technology leads to bill for more funding
Carla Walker's 1974 murder case remained unsolved for decades until advanced DNA testing technology led investigators to her killer. Now, lawmakers want to federally fund this technology to help solve more cold cases.www.fox7austin.com
Well spoken. My heart aches at the void in your life, but you’ve turned it into a quest for the good. If it can be solved, it should. I grew in not far from there and remember Carla’s murder all too well. In our teenage innocence we didn’t know about the creeps out there, wolves in sheep’s clothing. I’m glad he was caught and had to spend his last miserable years locked up. I hope many more can be solved with the help of this technology.Lengthy, interesting article.

Who Was Carla Walker and Why Is a Bill Named in Her Honor?
Carla Walker was just 17 years old at the time of her death in 1974. Now, proposed bipartisan legislation named in her honor will provide federal funding to law enforcement to help utilize the technology that was instrumental in solving her murder.www.insideedition.com
Proposed bipartisan legislation known as “The Carla Walker Act,” will provide federal funding to law enforcement to help utilize the technology that was instrumental in solving Carla’s case in 2020.
“I missed out on seeing my sister go through college. She wanted to be a veterinarian. She loved animals. She's one of those gentle spirits with animals. She wanted to be a veterinarian. Academically, she could have achieved that. I didn't get to see her graduate high school or college. I didn't get to see her get married. I didn't get to be at the hospital with our family as she's having her first child. But those things I know are for another time in another life, I'll get to see her again, and I'm excited about that,” Jim says.''
